Why Digitize Now
Old media wasn’t designed to last forever. Magnetic tape loses signal, photos fade, and film becomes brittle. Heat, humidity, flooding, or a move can put an entire family archive at risk.

How much does it cost to digitize my media?
It depends on your media, but there’s no guesswork. Heirloom provides a clear, itemized quote the same day your items arrive—before you pay anything. All pricing is published with no hidden fees.
Why should I digitize now instead of later?
Because physical media naturally degrades over time. Film, tapes, and discs all fail in different ways—often without warning. These common issues explain why acting sooner matters:
Film dries out due to Vinegar Syndrome.
Magnetic tapes get Sticky Shed.
DVDs crack or suffer from Disc Rot.
How do I get started?
It's so easy. Just bring everything to your nearest UPS Store with a prepaid Heirloom shipping label. Fit whatever you have in any strong, currugated cardboard box (many people re-use an Amazon box), or buy one from UPS who will help you pack it up! Click here for all options to send you media.
